  • Arsenal boss Unai Emery believes Mesut Ozil is now ready to start away games for the Gunners.

    The German midfielder has not been an immune figure in Arsenal’s starting line-up this season. In fact, his last start in an away fixture was when Arsenal visited Brighton on Boxing Day.

    Emery claimed that there was no right moment to start him ever since and the reasons were plenty.

    “Sometimes it was because we needed something different, sometimes it was because he was injured,” he said, according to Goal.

    “Now he is OK, he is training every day. He can play with two systems, 4-2-3-1 which maybe for him is the best, but sometimes we are playing 4-3-1-2 and he is playing like a team player. Also sometimes 3-4-1-2. Sometimes he can also play on the right side or the left.

    “For me, the most important thing is for him to be ready, to be available to us, to help or play and he is now in this way.”

    Emery added: “He’s working very well, playing very well, he’s helping us. I’m very happy with him. I think the team has a good atmosphere, good spirit with each player helping us with their qualities and good behaviour.

    “That’s the spirit I want, they are doing that, and Mesut is like the others [in that regard].”
